My partner is autistic. They have a hard time dealing with certain stressful situations. Recently, a man followed them in their car and forced them to pull over, claiming my partner had hit their car (they hadn't).
The man made threats, the police were called, and my partner was starting to have a panic attack. The police treated my partner like a nuisance, told them to be more aware of their surroundings, and that they were lucky a ticket wasn't written, like they were the problem, and not the man who was trying to claim his undamaged car had been hit.
We worked it out later with the insurance company, who denied the guy's claim and told us not to worry.
Police often can't handle interactions with neurotypical individuals, good luck if you aren't.
I swear people get worse at driving every year. The number of people who go 50mph down Semmes and completely ignore the school zone 25mph lights is like 9/10 drivers. The speed limit on that road is 30. There are signs out, I even remember locals protesting on the street during peak commute hours, nothing changes.
If cops want to meet their unofficial quotas, they should seriously just post up at Semmes Ave.

I've heard that this instance of police brutality is bad, like, worse than Rodney King. Be safe, be kind.
